Although vClient can manage ESXi 5.5, it can only implement some simple functions such as creating virtual machines, while the advanced functions of vSphere 5.5 cannot be implemented. Most importantly, multiple ESXi 5.5s cannot be managed uniformly at runtime.

So there is VCenter Server, another important member of the VMware virtualization architecture.

VCenter Server can achieve centralized and unified management, can provide access control, performance monitoring and configuration functions, and can centralize the resources of multiple ESXi hosts, so that these resources can be shared among virtual machines in the entire data center.

You can call him the central administrator of ESXi.

Note: three major components need to be installed before installing VCenter Server

2. VCenter Inventory Service (inventory service)

3. VSphere web vClient (web client-- can be installed last, but the first two must be installed first)

Three major components:

Case environment:

This environment, because of resources, installs SQL services and VCenter services on a server

First, we need to configure the service to change the login identity of all services to the domain administrator:

Enable the IP address configuration:

Create a new database to store the data source for vCenter:

Add a data source:

After the data source is added, let's install the three major components:

Installation list:

Web client service, pure brainless:

After installation, you can log in and access using the client's IE browser. Open the browser on the vClient server and enter https://vcenter.vmware.com:9443 to access it. If there is no domain name resolution, you can also use the IP address (Note: it is the IP address of the vCenter server)

After entering the interface, it is best to download and install a small plug-in first, otherwise some advanced functions will not be available. Note: any browser must be closed when installing.

Log in using the account password of the VCenter server
